    Now that it comes to mind, in the anime Tenchi has never broken the 4th wall before. In the manga it does some breaking, but in the anime there is none. I think Tenchi, if renew in anime, could do a new spin of breaking the wall, I think tenchi could pull it off.

    I think the manga did humor the best. Tenchi is a blank slate, he’s bland, he’s boring, but I guess that’s supposed to be part of his charm? I don’t know. Clearly the gals are the central focus of the show, Tenchi is the audience surrogate who is confused at all the wacky hijinx.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing a new continuity that’s lighter on the fanservice but a bit more comedy-oriented. The manga (which I will praise until the end of time, clearly) had the perfect balance between comedy, romance, and action. Seriously, grab Okuda and have him write a new series. I bet it’ll be fantastic.
